What?? Prince can speak coherently? Amazing the level of detail in those questions.

lol, really good questions & good answers. Wonder if P did these face to face?, damn good job either way with Mr. P as our ace reporter!!

GO ONTO TWITTER..IF THE ORG CAN'T BE ARSED..NEITHER CAN I!!!

Pic snip. Please post link only to article. The org does not have written permission from the author to reproduce pics of the article/pages. Orgnote me the link please, thanks. - luv4u]

FFS!

Why cant we post a link to this!?

I dont use twitter, so there's no way that i'll be able to find what's on show here.

Surely we wont be breaking any Paisley rule by pointing to an interview done by P himslef!?

Really doesn't read like Prince Saying that, I have no idea what he's like when he's the one asking the questions. The questions sounded quite personal though, in the sense that they could be things that Prince wanted to know more than questions for the sake of the magazine readers.

Reread what I posted. I said to post a link. The org does not have written permission to reproduce the pics of pages of the article. Posting the link for folks to read the article is ok.

Yes i feel like that was not Prince at all.

Luv4u,

Thank you for taking that stand. My wife is a print journalist, so I really appreciate it. To stay in business and continue to produce good stories, these magazines really need people to buy a magazine when it has a story they want to read (or at minimum visit the website).

.

Callimnate,

You can go to essence.com for a brief mention of the interview: http://www.essence.com/20...une-cover/

.

You can also buy a copy of Essence to get the full interview. I know it's not immediate. Here's a little taste:

.

"PRINCE: First of all, it's great seeing you back on the charts. What I admire most is that you and Chic could do no wrong ... Besides your obvious love of making music, is there something else that drives you?

.

NILE RODGERS: ... But playing and creating music, that's something I can't live without."

.

Like others said, it really doesn't sound like Prince does when he's the one being interviewed. Maybe we need more of these situations where Prince is the interviewer.

.

As for twitter, a bunch of people here and there are commenting on the interview and shouting out Essence, shouting out @3rdeyegirl. In other words, it's the usual.

.

Enjoy!

PS: I put a "." between each line because I can't get the line space formatting to work today.

Folks just cannot post pictures of the pages/article without written permission from the author or source, they may not know that. I've received complaints in the past where an author of an article who sees their work on the org asks me to take down the pics of their article or the article and just allowing the link or not even allowing the link at all. You don't want the author coming after to you for reproducing it without their permission.

I am non the wiser....

That is a cool interview.

Though, with Prince being the interviewer, instead of the interviewee, the question just begging to be asked is - was HE allowed to record it or was HE only allowed a pen and some paper to take notes?

What??? Don't even try to act like that only came across MY mind!
